Hey
I used the search bar, reviews on the net and tried to find another pair of skis that are a lot like the dumonts. I was thinking about saving up for a pair but a guy at my hill has them (small hill so everyone would think that I was copying his skis, and I hate him so .. yah) so I am looking for anoter pair that are flexible like them and ride really well in the park and out of the park.
My hill doesn't get that much snow so don't worry too much about powder.
Another question is about boots. The boots I have now are too big and I hear that boots makea HUGE! deal for sking. Some say it's good to put the extra few dollars in boots instead of skis. I went down to my local shop and checked out some boots, the guy reccomended Salomon foils, they were 450 canadian. How do these compare to the SPK's in terms of price difference and quality, can anyone commment there?
Hope you guys cna help, I've only every skied a few pairs of twin tips in my life (pe's, stomps, seths) so I'm not up to date on the rest. Thanks.
Cheers,

I can't remember exactly what the model name is, but Surface makes a ski that is about 83 in the waist, a healthy sidecut (which I think is symmetrical) and are extremely fun to ride, but not a great all mountain ski. I think they would be perfect for what you are looking for, but I may be wrong. Check out Surface's site, or maybe someone on here will know what I am referencing. Good luck.

I agree that surface makes an amazing ski. they are so fun to ride. and you'll be "unique" cause not a lot of people have them. SPK's or foils are both good boots, spk's are more park oriented tho, if you ski park a lot
